basic question since i haven't worked on MST much. MST should work like any
other digital panel on resume. i.e detect followed by modeset. in the 
modified
commit mentioned below is it failing to detect the panel or failing at 
the modeset ?
if we are depending on the intel_display_resume, how about moving the
intel_dp_mst_resume just above intel_display_resume?


Generic question to others in mail list on i915_drm_resume
we are doing a modeset and then doing the detect/hpd init.
shouldn't this be the other way round ? almost all displays
will pass a modeset even if display is not connected so we
are spending time on modeset even for displays that were
removed during the suspend state. if this is to simply
drm_state being saved and restored,

This does not look proper. if the CD clock is turned off during suspend
our dpcd read itself might fail till we enable CD Clock.
